TV Cabinet Update

After last week, we're on the home stretch of the construction of the large tv cabinet we have been working on (See the previous post). This past week we fitted and hung the doors, made the moldings and the base and tomorrow we will attach the base and make the final adjustments to the doors and it will be ready for finishing ...The ply frame for the base and the base face pieces on the cabinet break ... Normally we would make this first, but the way the carcase and end panels were configured, I wanted to fabricate and attach the end panels to be sure the projections of the base were correct ... Unusual, I admit. Click the photos to enlarge them ...Backing the crown molding with pine for a nail free attachment to the caseThe layout of the molding and backing in the rectangular stock...The finished crown moldingAttaching the cornice with glue and screws from the insideThe cabinet with the doors opened and recessed into the cabinet ..

We got the KV 8070 slides from Woodworkers Supply ... Here's the link http://woodworker.com/12-8070-pocket-door-slide-ebony-mssu-137-510.asp?search=door%20slides&searchmode=2 They are reasonably prices and work well ... The tv will hang on a sanus bracket from Amazon whenever it gets here ... It was backordered
